I like this a lot but, in my opinion, the pricing is way too high and keeps me from giving you money.

I'd buy it as a $5 app, for sure.



really? If it works for you then isn't this worth an incredible amount of money (i.e. if you can focus for longer and get more productive work out of the same hours)? If it doesn't work then its worth $0.

My guess is that they need to price it low enough not to scare ppl away, but if it works, then ppl will pay a lot.

No.

> If it doesn't work then its worth $0.

No, it's worth about $5 to me.

I was providing my perspective as a would-be customer interested in the product, nothing more.


good point.

frankly we're figuring out pricing. want to made it accessible and reasonable to all is the goal :)

for now, here's a '$25 for life' deal: https://brain.fm/hackernews

Same here. I have a very boring project right now, and the music helped me to focus better. Though over time, I feel a need to move, a motor restlessness if you will.

I'd buy it as a 5$ app, but not as a subscription, because I'm pretty sure that I will not listen to this for the rest of my life (or even the rest of the year).
